Fifth Quarter Roar | Schedule and Coaching Changes

Grumpy pulls out his fruit pocket computer to record this episode of Fifth Quarter Roar. With the NFL draft in the bag. He covers the recently released Detroit Lions schedule and the coaching changes during the off season. Thinking that the Lions aren’t going to miss a beat this season. Let's Go! Go Lions!

Will Dan be seen in Detroit at Ford Field? You betcha, does he share what game and when? You'll have to watch and find out. Dan says it is the first FQR & More, it's actually number 2. Let's Go! Go Lions!

Forgot Cold Weather Training?

 

Who knew Michigan would get down to 62 last night? I like to froze my butt off last night! Threw my fleece on this morning to warm up, prayed for “BOB” (Bright Orange Ball) to show up! May need to buy something a little heavier than a Detroit Lions throw. And to think I spent a week in Bridgeport CA. in the Sierra Nevada mountains in 3 foot of snow in a two person tent.

Happy Father’s Day 2024

We visit Mac Daddy’s Entertainment Center on Saturday night. Another challenge was accepted by Grumpy. And as usual Grumpy was the winner of the challenge. There was absolutely no doubt of the outcome. great time was had by all. Grumpy may use house shoes, but Grumpy has his own ball. it is a little older that Josh, because it was bought before he was born. So enjoy, here’s another 7 minutes of your life that you wont get back.

Happy Father’s Day!

Pre Fathers Day Coffee with Grumpy

 Just what you’ve been waiting for! A pre Fathers Day Coffee with Grumpy. Stop it. I heard you groan. Enjoy another dumb minute with Grumpy. You know deep down, you like it.

An Addition to Fifth Quarter Roar Studio

Picked up two recliners from Facebook marketplace tonite. For the Fifth Quarter Roar Studio aka The Dan Cave. Wanted to replace the love seat. They’re in decent shape, the price was right and if you spill a beer on them it doesn’t matter. Plus they are good enough for the girls we date!

Grumpy Update

 

A few changes going on with Grumpy. Some of which, may be revealed in due time. One is the big time weight loss plan that I have embarked on. Mostly health related, some is because I want to. I haven’t posted a lot on here. Maybe because I just don’t have the words right now to express myself. I tell myself to give it time. Sorry no videos lately, but I feel it’s for the best at this time.

In the meantime Josh and I are planning to continue Fifth Quarter Roar. We may do a meet up in Detroit for one or two of the games. Maybe do a FQR while we are in town with our folks. Stay tuned to see. Him and I are excited for the upcoming season. So we will see you all soon. Thanks for visiting.

New River Sampling Highlights

 Another Coffee with Grumpy. I’ve done a gazillion of these river sampling videos. This one I had a little help. Thank you Austen. I think it turned out pretty good. Watch for the flapping hat and the crazy hoodie draw string. Enjoy. Thanks for watching.

Coffee with Grumpy Minute for 4/15/2025

 

Could that be a Coffee with Grumpy episode? Well, yes it is! It’s been a while for a CwG and or a Fifth Quarter Roar. I take a minute to explain. Thanks for watching.

It Has Been A Minute Since The Last Fifth Quarter Roar!

We took a little time off after the NFC Championship game. No, not to pout. It was a great season by those pesky Lions for the Motor City. Fifth Quarter Roar will be back for another season. We are discussing if we want to do a show for the up coming draft, which by the way is going to be held in Detroit. I may try to get some local reaction to the draft. Our show is not a highly produced show. Both Josh and myself do have daytime jobs. Maybe a Coffee with Grumpy update will be forthcoming. So stay turned.

 

Fifth Quarter Roar | NFC Championship Game Lions at 49ers

The Lions fantastic season is now over. Super Bowl aspirations will have to wait until next season. A good foundation has been built. The Lions blew a 17 point halftime lead, but lost only be 3 points. 

Let’s Go! Go Lions! 🦁 🏈

 

Fifth Quarter Roar NFC Divisional Playoff Game | Buccaneers at Lions

Those Detroit Lions fans are acting like the Lions have won a Super Bowl, well not quite yet. 

The Detroit Lions are 60 minutes away from what could possibly be their first ever Super Bowl. With this win, they are heading to San Francisco for the NFC Championship game. 

As they continue, the dumb show known as Fifth Quarter Roar continues on. 

Let Go! Go Lions! 🦁🏈

Fifth Quarter Roar Wildcard Playoff Game | Rams at Lions

 This game is why we have done our dumb show! The Lions have been doing this all season. At times the games aren’t all that pretty, but they get the win.

I’ll let the episode speak for itself!

Let’s Go! Go Lions! 🦁 🏈

Coffee with Grumpy Minute

 Coffee with Grumpy Minute in Kill Devil Hills.

For those who maybe snowed in today, here is a video I threw together from our visit last weekend in Kill Devil Hills at the Wright Brothers Memorial. If you’d been missing my fat mustachioed face bumping my soup coolers this is for you.

Fifth Quarter Roar | Vikings at Lions Week 18

On this episode Grumpy and Josh celebrate the victory over the Vikings. Not one of our best shows, but I think it was fun. Distracted Josh, out of sorts Grumpy, new bling and a great gift from my daughter.

Let’s Go! Go Lions! 🦁 🏈

Happy New Year!

 Fifth Quarter Roar | Happy New Year!

Grumpy is solo today. Wanted to clear a few things up about Saturday Night game versus the Cowboys. He shares a video of the Coach. Sounds like the Lions will be ready for the Vikings this weekend and heading into the playoffs. Which is music to my ears. Makes a few predictions for the upcoming playoffs. 

I do misspeak a few times, so that’s nothing new!

Let’s Go! Go Lions! 🦁 🏈

Fifth Quarter Roar | Lions at Cowboys

Look beyond losing by 1 point against the Cowboys. The season isn’t over yet!

Before you start with the SOL (Same Old Lions) please let me remind you that these Detroit Lions are the NFC North Champs, Playoff bound (1st playoff game at Ford Field in years) and they just played one hell of game against an other playoff team. Let’s not get discouraged over this loss. We are going to make some noise in the playoffs and we’ll see what comes of it. 

They have something special here, that’s why Josh and I do this show. We have a guest this week. Josh gets a Blue Kool-aid tee shirt. The football tiki wasn’t lit, but as usual you know who is. Enjoy the show.

Let’s Go! Go Lions! 🦁 🏈

Fifth Quarter Roar | Lions at Vikings

 

Merry Christmas Eve.

Fifth Quarter Roar | Lions at Vikings

NFC North Champs!

A Christmas present that’s 30 years old! The Lions finally did it! Everyone laughed when Dan Campbell was hired as head coach. Questioned about the Lions draft picks. For those who said that these were the SOL (Same Old Lions) what do you think now? NFC North Champs and clinch a playoff berth on their own! Two games left, win them both, get the second seed in the playoffs and go make some noise in the playoffs. Who knows what will happen.

Lets Go! Go Lions! 🦁🏈

Coffee with Grumpy minute

 

Coffee with Grumpy minute.

A little football talk at the beginning, then gingerbread house building, another attempt at building a gingerbread train. The gorgeous elusive Miss Tammy got Grumpy a much, much easier one to build. A huge shout out to one of my favorite places in Michigan as seen on my T-shirt. Bronners Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan.
